In the Zhaoyang Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Lin Yan came in, Wu Guifei sat in full costume.

Wearing extremely luxurious clothes, his hair was curled high, the golden hairpin swayed, and the makeup was exquisite, covering the sick face in the past.

Lin Yan hasn't seen Wu Guifei dress up like this for a few years, and maybe because of her different mood in recent years, her clothes and accessories have also been low-key.

But Wu Guifei at this time reminded Lin Yan of the first time she saw her.

At that time, she was just a girl Lin Yan, not the queen Lin Yan. She remembered that it was like the winter solstice of one year, and she entered the palace as the future queen to participate in the winter solstice palace banquet.

Wu Guifei walked over in the crowd of palace people, with the corners of her long eyes, her chin raised, and her eyes looked disdainful and asked, "You are Lin Yan?" ”

Later, she relied on her status as a concubine and asked her to kneel down and salute.

At that time, the concubine was arrogant, as if everything should be subordinated to her. Even if he knew that she would become the successor, he never took her seriously.

Lin Yan walked in, Wu Guifei raised her head and looked at her, the corners of her slanted eyes, her chin slightly raised, and her eyes were proud, just like when she first saw her, the only thing that changed was that she was no longer young, and she was already old.

Wu Guifei only curled the corners of her mouth, sneered with some sarcasm and some self-deprecation, and said: "The concubine thought that the noble queen would not come to see the concubine as a ruined and criminal concubine. ”

Yes, Wu Guifei should be like this, no matter how depressed she is, she is not willing to show a little in front of her.

Lin Yan walked over and said: "Why don't you come, the concubine herself said that she was a loser, and the kings of the palace didn't just come to meet you, a loser, and enjoy the fruits of victory." ”

Wu Guifei didn't speak, just looked at her, but there was no emotion in her eyes, not even resentment.

Lin Yan separated a table and walked to the seat next to her and sat down. Then he waved his hand and asked all the palace people in the palace to go down, and then asked, "Say, what do you want me to come to see you for?" ”

This is the first time that Lin Yan has used the word "I" instead of "Bengong" in front of Wu Guifei.

Wu Guifei suddenly laughed, did not speak, but stood up, took two steps closer to the window, and looked outside.

The weather outside was superb, sunny and windy.

Wu Guifei suddenly said: "The weather outside is so good, it is really different from that day more than thirty years ago." ”

Lin Yan didn't speak, waiting for her to continue.

Wu Guifei paused and continued: "I remember that day, it rained so much, lightning and thunder, and the wind was so strong that it seemed that even the trees were about to be blown down. At that time, the emperor was only the powerless King of Qi, and I was not a concubine. I knelt in front of my grandfather's door for a long, long time, crying and begging my grandfather to help the emperor with the strength of the entire Wu family. But my grandfather didn't come out to see me, but just asked a subordinate to come out and question me, asking me if I still remember my surname Wu? Later, my father, uncle, brother, younger brother, and sisters all took turns to accuse me, accusing me of eating inside and out, and turning my elbows outward, saying that I had raised my daughter in vain. Only my mother stood by and wanted to come out to make an umbrella for me, but my grandfather and father could only stand aside and cry with me.

I couldn't argue, I could only cry, over and over again. But my grandfather and father still didn't agree. Later, when the emperor came, he looked at me for a long time in the rain, and for the first time I saw in his eyes the look of distress and pity for me, so even though I knelt until my legs were numb, I felt very satisfied. He asked me why I was doing this, and he took me back to the palace. Then on the second and third days, I secretly ran back to the Wu family to beg, to beg my grandfather and father to help the emperor. ”

When she said this, she suddenly blinked, not knowing whether she felt pain or nostalgia for this memory. After a long while, he continued: "Everyone said that I begged the Wu family to help the emperor in order to compete with Lin Xian, because at that time, your Lin family had already pledged allegiance to the emperor and expressed their willingness to swear allegiance to the emperor. But I know, it's not like that. The emperor was not favored in front of the first emperor, at that time the virtuous concubine and her mother's Yongxing Marquis Mansion were not in harmony, and the Yongxing Marquis Mansion did not want to support the emperor, despite the support of the Lin family, but compared with the prince and the second prince who were deeply rooted in the court, compared with the prince praying for the prince, it was still very limited. At that time, the second prince and the king of Qi had realized that the emperor had the heart to compete for the prince, and they competed with the emperor everywhere and suppressed him, and the emperor took every step very hard.

I just can't see him working so hard, I just hope that his brows won't be wrinkled like this every day, so I know that my grandfather and father will not be happy, but I still go back and ask the Wu family to help the emperor...... Back then, the Wu family fought the idea of not putting eggs in one basket, and the emperor was not valued by the Wu family, and felt that it was a pity to abandon the basket. Originally, the family wanted to send it to the Qi Wangfu as a side concubine, but it was a sister from the family. It was I who begged my father and mother, as the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, to marry the emperor and become a side concubine. I like him, I've loved him since I was a kid. I used to even think that if it weren't for your aunt Lin Xian, I would be his princess. ”

Lin Yan lowered her eyes and listened silently, knowing that she had finished speaking, before she spoke: "If you want to use these words to arouse people's pity, you should tell the emperor, you tell me, I will not remember these things Your kindness to the emperor." ”

Wu Guifei laughed out loud, as if she was extremely satisfied, and as if she was deliberately provoking her, she said: "I just don't tell the emperor, and the emperor has remembered it for so many years." He made a mistake and was sent to the cold palace; Jiang made a mistake and was finally given death by the emperor. But I, the concubine, have done no less than the He family and the Jiang family over the years, but I am still a good concubine. Lin Yan, whether you admit it or not, I am different from the He and Jiang families in the emperor's heart. ”

As he spoke, his voice lowered slightly, convincing Lin Yan and convincing himself, and continued: "Maybe in the emperor's heart, I am not as good as you and Lin Xian, but I am also different from others. The emperor has my place in his heart, so he can't bear me. ”

Lin Yan looked at her, her heart was slightly stinged, but she didn't follow her words, but asked, "Then what are you saying these for?" ”

Wu Guifei seemed to laugh extremely proudly, turned her head to look at her, and said, "I'm angry with you!" After speaking, he said, "These words will always be like a thorn in your heart." ”

Lin Yan looked at her, shook her head, and said, "I'm not you, I won't!" ”

Wu Guifei smiled persistently and firmly: "No, you will!" ”

Lin Yan still said: "No, I won't." Because I know that the emperor only has gratitude and guilt for you, but no feelings. ”

Wu Guifei said: "Yes, then let's take a look in the future and see if you can or not." As he spoke, he muttered, "Unfortunately, I can't see it." ”

But if she wouldn't be the same as she said, how could she come to see her today, isn't it because she was worried that she would leave more guilt and traces in the emperor's heart, so she would rather come to see her and meet her request.

Lin Yan stood up, there was no sadness or joy on her face, and said lightly: "If you just want to say these things to me, then I think I should go." (To be continued.) )
